Patient Portal 8

eClinicalWorks announced the release of eClinicalWorks Patient Portal Version 8 last month.

This version contains significant enhancements to the patient-facing aspects of Portal, such as easier accessibility, a cleaner look and feel, and improved Spanish language capabilities. Portal 8 also introduces key features to support Meaningful Use Stage 3 (MU3).

eCW began transitioning practices to Patient Portal 8 in February and should be completed by the end of March.
